Breakdancing opera star uses Instagram to promote classical music

With breakdance windmills and powermoves, Polish opera star Jakub Jozef Orlinski makes his way onto the stage at the National Radio Symphony Orchestra Hall to perform his coloratura pieces and largos arias in Katowice, Poland March 7, 2020

Only 5 percent of Poles aged 18-25 say classical music is their favourite music genre, compared to 12 percent across all age groups, a survey conducted by pollster CBOS in 2018 showed. Orlinski first became famous when a video of him performing Vivaldi's 'Vedro con mio diletto' went viral in 2017. In 2019, he released a video about how he pairs breakdancing with his career as a countertenor.

The singer says social media has helped him boost ticket sales for his shows, as well, even though he doesn't treat it as a business.
